An apparatus for pumping fluid through tubing comprising a stop platen is
disclosed. The stop platen is operatively arranged to depress a wall of
the tubing along a section of a longitudinal axis of the tubing. The stop
platen is narrower than the tubing along a transverse axis of the tubing.
The invention further comprises a cabinet containing the stop platen, a
door rotatably fixed to the cabinet, and locking means for preventing
rotation of the door. The locking means are operatively arranged to be
unlocked by a tubing occluder.
